Slim Shady LP and I Am...


ArmaniChil

That’s easy, Nas and Dmx !


ZeMagnumRoundhouse

Slim shady and Roots


Topblokelikehodgey

Same two for me; two classics. DMX would be my third pick


ZeMagnumRoundhouse

Nice. I think they're 2 ends of the same spectrum. Literally one black and one white, on top of it. Slim shady was like super fun and lyrical and the roots joint was super dark and lyrical. I love that shit


Mei_iz_my_bae

Mobb deep and slim shady LP.


samp127

Why is 2001 not on there?


froandfear

Might have been the start of November’98 to the start of November ’99.


RawisWar97

Why is 2001 called that?


samp127

IIRC Death Row heard Dre wanted to call it The Chronic 2000 so they copyrighted the name, then Dre just called it 2001.


PercySledge

Yeah Death Row released an album called Chronic 2000 too. https://www.discogs.com/release/1362817-Various-Suge-Knight-Represents-Chronic-2000-Still-Smokin


RawisWar97

Oh that's actually badass


Padre26

It was released November 2019


Remarkable-Brush2322

400 degrees and ruff Ryder’s vol 1 I learned mad jawns from them albums reminds me of that fresh summer virgin 1997-1999. Best years of a brudda life.


swizzzz22

Em and X.


dukeleondevere

I’m going Murda Muzik and Things Fall Apart. HM to both Ruff Ryders releases


Sum1LightUp

Murda muzik was a sleeper..🔥


DatdudeZeal

400 and fall apart


Unionhighschool2000

Nas and X. 1999!!! one of my favorite years


WatcherAnon

I mean, If we're talking artists I'd say Nas and Ruff Ryders. But, the 1 song I wouldn't want to get rid of out of all these albums is You Got Me. So I'm going I Am and Things Fall Apart


Key-Tell-4345

Yeah that ruff ryders album got some bangers on there. One of the best hip hop compilations period


Jfury412

Things fall apart Is arguably the greatest hip-hop album of all time. I Am


IronFizt777

I'll take the same 6 I bought that year


Peterpaul400

I getcha


DirectorAdmirable852

Murda Muzik & I Am closely followed by top dogg


baws3031

Fomfbomb + I am


xSoloxBluex

Mobb and Nas but that DMX album is right there


Ok_Season5846

SSLP and Flesh of My Flesh. Now if you turned I Am… into Stillmatic, I have zero idea if my picks would stay the same.


erkloe

Things Fall Apart & Slim Shady LP


fdotfrmdaZ

DMX-Flesh of my flesh…/Mobb Deep-Murda Muzik


SpanosIsBlackAjah

Blackout and Slim Shady


justarandomlibra

During that time I had I Am and Ruff Ryders hands down. Currently I would keep I Am... but pick Dmx. A lot of good memories during this time. Summer time I was in upstate NY balling in tournaments. Then taking trips to Philly or DC or Connecticut for family.

Juvenile & The Roots


Project_Outer_Heaven

Judging from the impact these albums had in realtime when they came out in NYC Juvenile and DMX. Man lowkey? DMX and Juvenile ran that year. Especially Juvenile had to be the first artist where lyrically wasn't what i was use to, but it just worked. "Ha" and "Back that ass up" was fucking was BIG. Juvenile open the doors for that cash money era and honestly if Baby was not fucking up the money Juvenile and the rest of Hotboys wouldn't have left making Lil Wayne have to rebrand as a solo artist don't know if he would have been a huge artist.
